   Yaaayyyyyy!

   And mazal tov.

   I’ve been thinkin, those KP folks seem to be fairly right-headed. Maybe we ought to give ‘em an official Eepie award, for e-patientness.

   Hmmm, now that I think of it, a Tommy award, for fulfilling DocTom’s dream. I’ll think about that.

   Great to have one of my dreams come true – more opportunities to work together. Looking forward to having you advocate for patients throughout all of KP, and for patients everywhere

   TED–We are so lucky! Does that mean you will have to be on Lotus notes?
   The singularity is near… you are coming to the right place at the right time.. have you read Ray Kurtzweils “The Singularity is Near?” He addresses the likely impact of computing in this century…Ray was the featured speaking in Catholic Healthcare West’s annual meeting this year..great stuff on how it will effect healthcare in the book.

   We love you, Ted. We are Lucky!

   Thank you thank you everyone. I would agree with the statement, Dave, that the Kaiser Permanente team is right headed, this factored heavily in my choice . And I of course love that the work I do is intended to help every patient in every care system, which has always been my goal.

   Watch here for updates,

   Ted
